QuoteThis page contains the following errors:
error on line 1021 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
Managed to log in anyway and getting this ...
I can navigate around some of the settings, but otherwise I either get access denied or it just craps out and tells me the page isn't working. Personally, I think we're almost there, even the front end looks as though it's upgraded 'reasonably' well, but I can edit anything by the looks of it.
Also, whilst on the dashboard, the activity overview constantly reloads and does not show any of the stats.
NB: Saw another thread regarding limited admin access and in particular dropping ps_access and uploading another, tried that, marginally more success than before, able to access other areas but still not right. Even went through all the modules, etc, updating them all but then couldn't upgrade PayPal, deleted and attempted to reinstall fresh, still throwing errors about "ps_thisandthat" already exists so the long and the short of it all is I've tried over 3 days to upgrade the site and even though our site is not in any way heavily customised or full of third party mods, the upgrade, is not functioning as it should.
The only realistic way that I can see anyone from 1.6 "upgrading" to 1.7 is by migration only which in itself is going to be a painful process for us also. For now I've rolled back to 1.6 as we can't be offline for great lengths of time but I'm still open to any suggestions or pointers anyone can offer to help the process.
Cheers
